I don't know what to say. I am so upset. There is this guy, who with just a few alterations, has taken claim for my work and claimed it is his own. I am actually speechless...he removed one piece he outright stole, but he has still got SO much of my stuff up there. And refused to take it down.

There are other deviantartists he has stolen from as well. If anyone recognises their pieces, please alert them, as I have only managed to alert two of three people.

I am only putting this up because I plan to take action but if any of you recognise the work put up on his website...please please alert the artist!

Look, I have been through a lot in my life. You claim to be a feministic man, someone who loves and respects women. I am asking you respect the only thing I have that gives me strength. My words. I am asking you to remove the stolen words, or I'm going to have to take legal action. Please. Either credit me with the original story, or remove my story completely. www.souravpandey.in/2011/09/it… This story in particular is a very important one to me when I wrote it. My boyfriend and I spoke in my car whilst driving to an animal shelter. This story embodies him. HE is a hermit, he is kind and his eyes welled up when we found a half injured piedog sitting inside a dirty old box, his back legs completely chewed off. Please don't do this to me. Just take them down. Please?

He didn't even bother to respond. Now, I'm really upset. I bleed my words from my heart and my soul. Its the only thing that makes me feel like my bones are not breaking, that I am worth something.

I love sharing my words, but not like this...never like this.

I want to thank comedawn.deviantart.com/ for bringing this person to my attention. Check out Comedawn's gorgeous artwork!

It is truly sad that those people who claims themselves ''artists'' are so devoid of creativity and respect that they have to steal others brilliant work. Don't let this bother your way. Pity those people, for they can only copy, never create, living the life of others but never theirs. I'm looking foward into seeing your words published someday. You have the talent, now go for it!

My gosh, that is just plain evil. I haven't experienced art theft yet, but it must be horrible...You could see this as a compliment on your work, but it's just horrible to get your work stolen this way D:Good luck with this dear~ I hope everything will be solved soon

No words to say. Some people just know not the meaning of ethics or humanity yet they pose... I guess I should not linger longer over expressions.

I just hope that your works stay yours and that he is stopped. More ever, why not publish your works as a book? I have little doubt that they would not be best sellers. I myself am writing a book involving short stories and poems so to me the idea applies to you as well.

You are welcome and I try not to exaggerate so my statement is not a method with which to temporarily make you feel happy but an honest assessment and I will (after sieving my work since you probably don't have much time) send you a few links to my works to look into.

I would be glad to have your HONEST (honest as in if you feel it was a poor attempt, state it) critique

He took them down after this journal came out and some wonderful people here told him to take it down. He just kept deleting my comments off his pages and ignored the personal messages I was sending him. I am so grateful for the deviantart community. They made this so much easier for me, helped me when I was in need.

This makes me so mad, because I honestly think your written works are amongst the most inspiring (and awesome!) on this site. And it's difficult when, like you said, your words are what gives you strength. Off dA, I am working on a very personal novel, but have decided never to post any of it online because there are simply too many thieves out there. And if someone stole what I had put my heart and soul into then, well, it would ruin all my hopes for that piece.That said, since your works are copyrighted, you've got this one in the bag. And I checked out the links to that guy's site and I keep getting error messages ("the page of this blog doesn't exist"), so perhaps they have been taken down? I wish you good luck in this!

*read through the journal entry**read through links**curious**went to the facebook page of the rascal and was about to send a message**refrained; thought about it**went back to journal entry**scrolled down**read through comments**nodded*

There are some really stupid, mindless, greedy people out there. It's something that is impossible to cope with nowadays, especially if, in your case, you've been through alot. I suggest you follow up with taking legal action. Give this thief what he deserves. Not to mention that by posting your work in public, there ARE going to, unfortunately, be people out there who are so thoughtless as to take all of your beautiful work. Keep your head up, and good luck, dear.

I don't mind people taking my work as long as they don't claim it as theres. Even if they don't credit me, I just don't like the idea of someone saying they have worked so hard on the words and those moments belong to them. Its been a heart breaking experience, but I'm glad he took them down.

I never understand how can someone do that I can imagine how sad you must be to see your work claimed to be someone else's Makes me so sad really. I wish this guy gets what he deserves, and get punished.

dick. Even after knowing that this was very important to you. I question his artistry for not understanding what it means to put your very soul in a piece. I bet he's not even human.I wanna do sumthin bout this too...

I've already appealed for a cease and desist against him. And then I realised he's been stealing from a website called dearblankpleaseblank as well. They have been duly informed as well. I don't understand how someone can be so stupid when how easy it has become to find out these things online.
